well that aint ferraris fault. williams and mclaren have to step up they have the money, and the ability. But they just arntt doing something right. Why should ferrari be put down for being the best at what they do. Coulthard can be as pissed off with ferrari as he want but he first needs to look at his own team, i mean what a crap performance from them at australia

Even as a British racing fan I've never rated Coulthard as a top class driver. He's had  one of the best cars in F1 but  he still hasn't managed to come up with the goods. So all I can put his comments down to is SOUR GRAPES!
Even his father doesn't rate his driving ... he owns and runs a trucking company in SW Scotland and wont let him behind the wheel of one of his trucks.
Coulthard .....prove yourself and then you will have the right to comment!! Angry

i do feel sorry for coulthard he's been put in a bad position throughout his career. He has always tried to live upto the careers of Nigel Mansell and Damon Hill, but he just isnt in their league. He's been around along time, has had to carry the weight of being britains number 1 driver for alot of that time and he just cant live upto expectations.

this isnt the first time coultard has been like this.  he admits to trying to kill schumacher a few years back when he blocked him in the nurburgring in the rain.

If I remember rightly 1991 was Detroit and it was a Street circuit all concrete walls and wire fences. Thats why it was canceled .....

I could be wrong though ???

the 1991 USGP was held in phoenix. Won by Ayrton senna i believe. But it was only held in Phoenix for a short time before that it was in Dallas, but thats as far back as my personal knowledge goes. As to why it was cancelled, i dont know sorry.

schumi in his benneton? if i remember correctly?
Personally my fav race moment Ayrton Senna Nigel Mansell, in Brazil, there was a huge down pour and comming into the start finish straight these guys were side by side top speed, could barely see a thing and all the way down it was a case of who would break into the first corner first. Well Senna being the rain master prooved why he was by not braking untill the last possible second, he shot by mansell and straight into the lead, in one of the gutsyest moves i have ever seen, and the crowd reaction then aswell was unbelievable.
